This engraving, "Portret van Friedrich Arnaud hertog van Schomberg," created between 1737 and 1739 by Jacob Houbraken, depicts the Duke of Schomberg in an oval frame adorned with ornate details. The subject, dressed in armor, appears with a serious expression, emphasizing his military stature. The engraving features a scene of battle below the portrait, likely representing a key moment in the Duke's military career. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Houbraken's mastery of engraving and offers insight into the portraiture and historical representation prevalent in 18th-century Netherlands.
